Problem:
The magic globals `it`, `describe`, etc., are more trouble than they are
worth.

- Hooking into `after_each` requires `getfenv()` hacks.
- They confuse luals/emmylua, because the top-level `.luarc.json` isn't
  merged with `test/.luarc.json` (apparently a luals limitation?)
- They totally defeat discoverability because the user just has to
  "know" about the various magic symbols.

So they harm DX, which means they serve no purpose at all.

Solution:
- Expose the test API from `testutil`, so tests can call `t.it()`,
  `t.describe()`, etc., in the conventional way.
- Drop `getfenv()` hacks.
- Drop the `setfenv()` injection in `load_chunk`.
- Drop `test/_meta.lua`.

Problem:    Sourcing buffer lines is too complicated.
Solution:   Simplify the code. Make it possible to source Vim9 script lines.
            (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes vim/vim#9974)

https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/85b43c6cb7d56919e245622f4e42db6d8bee4194

This commit changes the behavior of sourcing buffer lines to always have
a script ID, although sourcing the same buffer always produces the same
script ID.

vim-patch:9.1.0372: Calling CLEAR_FIELD() on the same struct twice

Problem:  Calling CLEAR_FIELD() on the same struct twice.
Solution: Remove the second CLEAR_FIELD().  Move the assignment of
          cookie.sourceing_lnum (zeertzjq).

closes: vim/vim#14627

<title>fix(tests): needing two calls to setup a screen is cringe</title>

Before calling "attach" a screen object is just a dummy container for
(row, col) values whose purpose is to be sent as part of the "attach"
function call anyway.

Just create the screen in an attached state directly. Keep the complete
(row, col, options) config together. It is still completely valid to
later detach and re-attach as needed, including to another session.

Teach exec_lua how to handle functions.

Specifically, functions that are run in the context of the test runner
are put in module `test/testutil.lua` while the functions that are run
in the context of the test session are put in
`test/functional/testnvim.lua`.

Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/27004.
